Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos FS Darian Stewart's deal is for two years and $4.25 million with a $1.5 million signing bonus. It includes $2.25 million guaranteed and has $250,000 in incentives for 2015. His $750,000 salary in 2015 is guaranteed, with a $2 million base salary in 2016.

Baltimore Ravens FS Darian Stewart has picked up the defense very well, according to defensive coordinator Dean Pees. Pees said Stewart is a smart, conscientious player and is pleased with the safety's progress.

Baltimore Ravens FS Darian Stewart feels good and is focused on staying accountable and healthy. Stewart said he's been stretching and drinking fluids. He is the projected starter at free safety going into training camp.

It was presumed that Baltimore Ravens FS Terrence Brooks would be the front-runner for the starting free safety job after being selected in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft. However, Brooks did not see time with the first or second teams in the offseason. FS Darian Stewart took most of the reps at free safety, and it appears it is his job to lose in training camp and the preseason.

Baltimore Ravens FS Matt Elam may start at free safety again next season if FS Darian Stewart wins the strong safety job. Elam's position next season likely will be determined by what the team does at the position during the draft.

St. Louis Rams FS Darian Stewart (hamstring) will not play in the team's third preseason game because of a hamstring injury. FS Rodney McLeod will start at free safety and could win a starting job if he plays well during the game.

St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said Sunday, March 24, that FS Darian Stewart will have a chance at a bigger role this season, but how much of a role is up to him. "It's Darian's opportunity now to step up and take charge of that position," Fisher said.
